    I mean, it appeared to me that there wasn't a build environment
    available at checkout. I tried a couple different bjam
    incantations, and it appears that there is a BBv1 build, but I
    know less about BBv1 than I do about BBv2.

    This wayward branch is probably not the best place to learn
    about Boost project structures. I figured, I'd wait until
    someone wanted to collaborate on x-patform builds, and there was
    more to build, since that is mostly about testing on different boxes.

    I understand.
    
    I'm just checking. To my eyes, this looks like a project that
    is underway, but not completed.
    
    When you asked if I had a Ruby backend implemented already, I
    didn't know what to make of it.  It seems like there's a ways to
    go, yet. Maybe it was much simpiler.
    
    I wouldn't really change anything without discussion, anyway.
